- Adult supervision must be present to insure proper safety for children using boomerangs. BOOMERANGS ARE A SPORTS ARTICLE, NOT A TOY. EXTREME CAUTION SHOULD BE USED WHEN THROWING OR CATCHING BOOMERANGS. REMEMBER - YOU ARE THE TARGET!
- Never throw a boomerang at or near someone. Always throw in a large open space of at least the size of a footbal field (100 yards by 100 yards is advised - much more space is needed for some competition MTA (maximum time aloft) or LD (long distance) boomerangs).
- Make sure that your throwing space is clear of all people, cars, trees, buildings, animals or other objects which could be damaged if hit by a boomerang.
- Protective safety glass eyewear should be worn at all times when throwing and/or catching boomerangs. BOOMERANG THROWERS AND SPECTATORS ARE IN EXTREME DANGER IF IN THE PATH OF A THROWN BOOMERANG. CHILDREN SHOULD NOT BE LEFT UNSUPERVISED.
- Only one boomerang should be thrown at a time. Use care at all times when throwing boomerangs.
- Never throw your boomerang laid out flat like a frisbee. Boomerangs should always be thrown in a nearly verticle position to avoid dangerous diving and swooping flights.

- If you are just learning to throw boomerangs do not throw too
hard at first. For most boomerans a half powered throw is usually
enough to get the boomerang to return. As you get more
experience you can add more power to your throw to get longer
range flights.
- Never throw a competition level MTA (Maximum Time Aloft)
or Long Distance boomerang unless you are an experienced
thrower. Ranges of up to 200 yards or more are possible and
flight times longer than 3 minutes. Different throwing techniques
are used with competition boomerangs than are included
with this manual.
- Special expertise and care must be used to throw competition
boomerangs in general as they are often faster and more difficult
to catch than a recreational boomerang. Competion level
boomerangs often have different instructions for their specific
use, for example Fast Catch, Trick Catch and Long Distance
boomerangs. Long Distance boomerangs can go up to 200 yard or
more. See instructions for your specific boomerang if you have a
competition model.
